Natalie    Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003    | It appears to be very stressed out, but I would have to say Botia hymenophysa, Botia reversa, or Botia robusta.  I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash. |

You can just read the care info for another species, and then just adjust it for size. Your loaches will probably grow somewhere between 6-9" in length, depending on which species they are.

stallion81 Big Fish Posts: 327 Kudos: 255 Votes: 143 Registered: 17-Jan-2004 | Looks like a tigger loach. Stressed as stated before. 6-8". Treat like your CL's, though I donot know if they are "schoaling". |

longhairedgit Fish Guru Lord of the Beasts Posts: 2502 Kudos: 1778 Votes: 29 Registered: 21-Aug-2005 | I had some tiger loaches just like those, its one of the rare occasions ive ever taken a fish back, they proved to be the most incredible fin nippers. I put them in a huge tank, loads of space and cover and in 48 hours they started clicking, infighting and they nipped 14 other fish. I was a bit surprised to say the least. Judging by the extreme territoriality I experienced with them, id say they live in loose groups, but not a true shoaling fish. They eat snails though, which is handy.
